Marine Rust at its Best

Seawater systems are used by many industries such as
shipping, offshore oil and gas production, power plants and coastal industrial
plants. The main use of seawater is for cooling purposes but it is also used for
fire fighting, oil field water injection and for desalination plants. The
corrosion problems in these systems have been well studied over many years, but
despite published information on materials behavior in seawater, failures still
occur. (see costs to ships)
